Walkthrough for the Find the Drop the Clown quest in Baldur’s Gate 3
Baldur’s Gate 3 throws players into a string of unusual tasks. One notable late-game quest asks you to locate the scattered parts of a clown across the city. This guide lays out where to look and how to secure each piece.
Why this quest matters for spellcasters
For players who specialize in magic, this side task is especially rewarding. Completing it grants the Spellpower Gloves, an item that enhances the potency of spells. For mages, maximizing spell power can be a decisive edge in challenging encounters.
Starting the quest Find the Drop the Clown
When Act 3 begins, head to the village of Rivington. Move north until you come to the Circus building; the path is clearly marked on the map.
After an encounter with the impostor clown, speak with Lucretia, the circus director. She will task you with locating the real artist, and the quest Find the Drop the Clown will appear in your quest log.
You may also talk to the doppelganger masquerading as a clown. He confesses to harming the actor, and this revelation sets you on the path to gathering every body part. Each piece is hidden in various locations and some areas may unlock only as you progress through the story.
Where to find the clown’s hand
The severed hand is the first component to locate. Exit the Circus Building after you received the quest and head west toward Popper’s Cobald.
The hand rests on a table inside the shop, sitting on a plate. To claim it, you will need to approach stealthily. If you time it right, you can steal the hand as the merchant turns away.
Recovering the clown’s body
As the investigation continues, you will progress through a separate storyline titled Solve the Murders in the Temple of the Open Hand. This leads to an underground lair where Father Lorgan’s killers are hiding. Defeating them and inspecting their corpses reveals the bloodied body of the clown.
Finding the clown’s foot
A small building near Bee’s Goods provides access to the next piece. Hack the lock or force the door open to enter. Use the hatch beneath the stairs to descend to a lower level where the severed clown foot awaits.
Locating the clown’s pelvis
Travel to the lower town and locate the runestone Cornflower Gate. Enter the house behind the barracks. The blue door may be locked; forcefully breaking it requires a minimum of 15 skill points. Inside, search the room to uncover the bloody clown’s pelvis.
Getting the clown’s leg
Stormshore Armory is the trailhead for this piece. Visit the building situated to the west and use a 15-skill-point effort to unlock the door. Enter the house and descend via the hatch. In the next chamber, a ritual circle with a dead man lies in wait. Inspect him to take the bloody clown leg.
Finding the clown’s hand again
Head to Filagir Fireworks. The relevant house faces northeast. The entrance is boarded up, so you must tear down or burn through the barricade. Enter, approach the chest, and break or move it aside to access the hatch beneath. Open the lock and descend. A corpse there holds the bloodied clown’s hand.
Locating the clown’s head
Complete the mission Impress the Murder Tribunal, then activate the Ruins of the Underground City rune stone. Make your way to a corpse-heavy area north of the Temple of Baal. Search the dead to retrieve the bloodied clown’s head.
Completing the Find the Drop the Clown quest
Begin by confirming you have every part of the murdered artist’s body. The required items include the bloodied clown head, bloodied clown foot, severed clown hand, severed clown pelvis, bloodied clown leg, and the dismembered clown body. Return to Lucretia and speak with her to finish the quest. The reward is the Spellpower Gloves, boosting spell effectiveness.
